Book NowAbout Somewhere North
Tucked beside a leafy park in St Ives Chase, Somewhere North delivers city-standard specialty coffee and bush-inspired plates without the trek across the bridge. Regulars drop in for single-origin pour-overs pulled from a serious setup, then settle outside with dogs in tow. The kitchen swaps standard cafe toast for warm cheddar damper crowned with poached eggs, alongside crisp rosti layered with house-smoked salmon and fresh avocado.
- Native Australian twists: Eggs benedict served over warm cheddar damper, plus savory plates pairing crunchy saltbush with pepperberry squid.
- Serious specialty coffee: Single-origin filter and espresso dialed in on a Slayer Steam with Izaga Markibar and Mahlkönig EK43 grinders.
- Parkside community vibe: Casual outdoor tables right next to a leafy neighborhood playground make relaxed visits with dogs and kids seamless.
